8.5 UNINTERRUPTED Hours

Post by the_nap_ster » Sat May 12, 2012 4:02 pm

That is how long I spent with my new best friend -- the Quattro FX -- last night.

That is the longest stretch of uninterrupted sleep that I've gotten in the past six years. I woke up feeling unbelievably awesome.

Is this what normal people feel like? Because seriously? I'm ready to climb a tall mountain or take over a small nation or something. I. Feel. So. Good. It is 3:00PM PST, and I have no desire to take a nap. I am actually doing productive writing right now. (Okay, I'm messing about on an internet forum right now, but it's during a break from PRODUCTIVE WRITING!!! )

How did I get through my PhD without sleeping? How did I get through *everything* in my life without sleeping?

Sorry for the babbling. Just had to share.

This is awesome! Your post proves that full face masks can be more comfortable than nasal ones. Congrats!

Congratulations! I hope you continue to have restful nights. That's great news, so you may have found a mask that fits you.
I got 4.5 hours last night....

Exactly the opposite for me. That confirms that there is not one silver bullet and that we all need to find the best solution that will work for our own case.
